Dr. Gerardo Goldberger, an orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine physician, and triathlete, hosted a workshop at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute with Multisport Coach, Tom Manzi in Freehold, New Jersey.
Freehold, NJ, February 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The “Sports Medicine and Coaching” workshop at the Pond View Professional Park in Freehold brought together an acclaimed orthopedic surgeon and a respected coach, resulting in a rousing success. More than 70 participants from all over New Jersey gathered to meet with experts who analyzed and discussed the finer details of each individual’s athletic fitness and techniques. Experts also gave feedback about the strengths and weaknesses of workshop participants.
The workshop, sponsored by Dr. Gerardo Goldberger, an orthopedic surgeon at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Freehold, and Tom Manzi, Multisport Coach of Training Bible Coaching in Pt. Pleasant, featured state-of-the-art technology to analyze such athletic techniques as foot strikes in running and swim strokes. The fitness center at CentraState Medical Center provided the aquatic facilities for the swim stroke analysis. Specialists properly fitted bikes for cyclists; others analyzed runners’ feet to make shoe recommendations; and a nutrition expert discussed sports nutrition, among other presentations.
Dr. Goldberger, a board certified orthopedic surgeon in sports medicine and spine subspecialties, was available throughout the day to assist coaches and therapists with multidisciplinary evaluations. A triathlete himself, Dr. Goldberger also discussed issues related to multisports. In addition, he educated attendees on physical ailments that might hinder them in reaching personal fitness goals.
“Our goal was to help athletes improve not just their health and fitness, but also their performance,” Dr. Goldberger said. “Based on the enthusiastic response of those who attended, we believe we accomplished exactly that.”
“The expert presenters at our Sports Medicine and Coaching Workshop put a spotlight on sports nutrition, health, and fitness,” Manzi said, “as well as recommendations about how to improve techniques and enhance sports specific performance.”
Seminar topics included, “How to Train by Using the Periodization Model,” “How to Improve Technique,” “Designing a Training/Race Plan,” and “Nutrition for Athletes.”
Manzi said plans are already in the works for a follow-up seminar. “We would like to have another conference, probably in the fall,” Manzi said. “We already had a meeting on it. We sent a survey out to see what type of presenters they would like to see.”
